I forgot to post this in the draft!
I think it was muddy but also crisp...
I'm sure I liked it! I should have posted it when I took a sip. Sorry about that.
The sweetness of the rice comes through at first, but the bitterness comes through a little stronger until the aftertaste, making it easy to drink and delicious.
Takachiyo Miyamanishiki
On February 8, I went to Aichi.
We left home at 3:00 and off we went to Aichi ✌️
First stop was my wife's favorite bakery✨.
It started snowing when we passed Hamamatsu😱.
Cold wave hit that day.
We went to Benkei, which we found after much research.
There were so many breads!
We were both so excited ⤴️
While eating the bread we bought in the car
We went to the Expo 2005 memorial park where we were thinking of taking Fuku for a walk.
"I want to let Fuku play in the snow."
My wife's wish came true✨.
The first bottle of sake we bought in Aichi was Takachiyo.
This was my first Kanji Takachiyo.
Kanji Takachidai is a dry sake,
I had it with a nabe (hot pot).
It is said to be super dry with a sake degree of +19, but it was not too hot.
but it was not too spicy.
but not too spicy and you can feel the umami of the rice as well.
Delicious sake ✨
As for me, I'd rather drink it with a meal.
Kanji Takachi-yo would be better for me as I like to drink it with a meal: ☺️
Good evening, Manta-san!
Good short trip to Aichi: ⤴️
The bread looks delicious 😋 and you seem to be having a lot of fun 🎵.
Dry with a hint of umami is delicious with a meal ✨.
I must drink Kanji Takachiyo sometime 😊.
Good evening, Manta-san 🦉.
It must have been terrible with all the ❄❄, but I'm glad Fuku-kun seems to be having fun 😻.
I was also surprised by the amount of bread at the bakery 😳It must be hard to choose 😆I'd love to visit 🎶.
Good morning, Manta 😃.
3am departure 🚙 to start the bread🍞 shop! With the addition of snow ☃️ 🤗Congratulations on getting your first Takachidai 🎉The food is dry and delicious 😋.
I didn't expect to get the brand name wrong, and I apologize for the inconvenience. m(_ _)m
The first day was at room temperature. Almost no aroma. It has a rather light umami taste of rice, with almost no sharpness, and seems to linger for a long time before receding. It is not so much light and dry as it is a little bit thin and rather smooth. A very mild standard sake.
The third day, it was warmed up to 40°C and 45°C. Both temperatures are similar, but 45°C has a more pleasant sharpness with a little bitterness in addition to spiciness, and it has a little more body. 50°C 50°C. This one has more umami. At 50°C, the flavor is more umami. It is quite spicy but also has umami, and it finishes crisp and clear.
A classic with a slight sense of maturity. It goes well with nabe (hot pot), cheese, boiled fish, soaked vegetables, salads, and anything else, but personally, I prefer it when I can taste the rice flavor.
Shin Takachiyo 5th bottle.
This series is recommended for daytime drinking, but this time Nocturne might be more appropriate for late night.
The nose is apple, pear, grape and a little honey.
The taste has a honey-like sweetness at first, but a refreshing sourness soon follows, and it tastes sweet and sour, almost like a honey lemon.
The light, low-alcoholic taste with a clean aftertaste makes it very easy to drink.
Delicious!
Like a soft drink, this is a slightly dangerous alcoholic beverage that can be easily consumed at any time of the day.
